Factory on 5th
Free Is Just Another Word ...
RECEIVED Thu., Aug. 12, 2004
Dear Austin Chronicle,
A correction? You listed the Chaparral Ice grand opening as a free event, but it cost me $6 to get in [Community listings, Aug. 6]! Boo hoo.
Although skate rental was free, and there was an exhibition, (one tiny girl whirling gracefully), things seemed, pardon the pun, a bit rinky-dink. There were no Ice Bats hanging around, nor Fang, their heralded mascot. But, there was a nice tattooed fellow who explained the bats usually play hockey at the Expo Center, and there would also be ice skating lessons at the other Chaparral Ice on I-35. Unless that was Fang?
I also enjoyed last week’s article on Austin artists Jenny Hart’s pinup-style embroidery and Hope Perkins rappers found in unusual background jackets, along with the usual Camp Fig heroes ["Stitching Up a Storm," Visual Arts, Aug. 6]. So far Camp Fig has had some incredibly likeable designs and artwork at their shows.
